Death by Chocolate

I have a confession to make. I have a sweet tooth. Big time. I especially have a sweet tooth where chocolate is involved. Dark. Milk. Even white. I'm not too picky. Mmmmmm.

So, when I am preparing a dessert for a larger group, this is one of my go-to recipes. Death by Chocolate. Did I already say Mmmmmm?! Super easy. Tasty. Only 4 ingredients. What's not to love about that?

I know there are a million different variations of this floating around, but here's mine.

Bake the brownies as directed on the package and set aside to cool. Please disregard the old, yucky pan!

Whip up the mousse and let sit for designated time as per the instructions on the box.

Once both of those are cooled and set, you're ready for construction. Cut the brownies into small squares and begin to layer at the bottom of your trifle bowl.

Next spoon on some of the mousse. This time, the grocery store only had Dark Chocolate mousse, but I actually prefer Milk Chocolate for this recipe--kinda balances out the taste and provides a bit more contrast. Totally up to you though.

Next spoon on the Cool Whip and sprinkle on the Heath pieces. Continue layering brownies, mousse, Cool Whip, and Heath pieces until you reach the top.
